The value proposition and purpose are clear, but I'm not sure why you're focusing on students. It seems like it shouldn't be too bad to make it more generic and show good rentals within a decent radius of some user-supplied location. Also, if you're going to be appealing to landlords, I don't think "screwed" is a professional word to have in your slogan.<p>Even if the "Houses, Condos" etc. icons are supposed to work in the future, I think they're too huge and don't really add anything visually.<p>When I search for a rental, I think the map takes up too much space. I think I would prefer to decide which results to focus on based on the information returned first. The search results page kinda pisses me off because I can barely see the first result since it's taken up by this gigantic search box with so much space around the "Filters" drop-down menu.<p>On the "Browse Rentals" page...what's the purpose of this page? Why should I want to browse all the rentals available on your site when I'm only interested in some locations I have in mind already?<p>Otherwise, I think it is a good idea since people might start renting more and would like to know what they're getting into beforehand, but the site just looks really busy right now. Too many different colors; you have a million different shades of blue for example.
I figured it's about time to bite the bullet and get some feedback from a community I've come to respect and trust.<p>If anyone here is a student, it would be awesome if you could create an account (you may need me to add your school to the site first) and give it a whirl. Otherwise, just play around with it and let me know what you think.<p>Hopefully the value proposition and purpose of the site are clear on the homepage, so I'll let you have at it!
I kept clicking those icons but they don't work. Then I scrolled down and that single pixel HR separating the entries was hard to see so I didn't get why the bubble boxes were there, with no pictures as well. Then the slanted background gave me a headache as I scrolled so I closed the window.
